The first sensation of the arrival of Sergio Chiquito Romero Boca among the Racing fans there was a certain resentment. Is that, after training at Tita Mattiussi’s headquarters in recent weeks, the goalkeeper accepted Juan Román Riquelme’s offer become a Xeneize player. But that feeling changed dramatically when they heard his words in the presentation to Xeneize: “Boca is the biggest club in Argentina“, Chiquito threw everything and in Avellaneda his statements fell like a bomb. The press conference that Víctor Blanco was already parading on the radio to answer the goalkeeper had not yet finished.
The declarations of the historic goalkeeper second in the World Cup with the Argentine national team in Brazil in 2014 still resound like an echo, and the president of Racing spoke in Sacá del Medio, the afternoon sports strip of Radio Continental. The Academy boss threw everything against the goalkeeper who left the club.
“I will not call Romero, the club and I have a clear conscience, we did what we had to do. For a long time the doors of the club will remain closed.White started.
Chiquito Romero has been training in Racing these days but has arrived in Racing.
“Of course I have the same feeling of anger as the fansRomero’s words were unfortunate, they were not necessary “, continued the president of Racing who was surprised by Chiquito’s arrival at the Ribera club:” We were surprised by what Romero went to Boca, he had doubts about stay in the country or go to Europe, we thought he would leave.
This Sunday Racing receives Boca in the Cylinder and in the program that Diego Díaz hosts and has the Clarín journalist, Daniel Avellaneda, asked him: “I wouldn’t really like him to go out on Sunday and play against RacingIt upsets me a bit to see him in another shirt but he’s a professional. “
Blanco assured that Racing has always been in contact with Romero: “When he went to Venice there was the possibility that he would come, it was at the time of Arias’ injury”.
Although the question that moves the fans of the Academy is whether or not Racing went to look for Romero in this market and Blanco was thoughtful: “We thought he could go to Europe, it’s a surprise that he decided to go to Boca. Today we are covered in the arc, we have not done any management“.
Later Blanco went out on the bench for his goalkeepers: “Arias is a player of the national team, he has nothing to envy to Chiquito. And Gómez is at an excellent level. Today the Racing goal is covered, I don’t know if Arias or Gómez are better but they are on the same level as Romero“.
“I don’t tell you forever, but the #Racing doors have been closed for a while. What he said doesn’t help”, closed Víctor Blanco.
